The BIOCORRIDOR Tenka-La Esperanza is a program that covers several areas: conservation, ecological restoration, environmental education, sustainable development, and research, through various projects. The intervention area is located in El Carmen, Manabí, and its ultimate goal is to establish biological corridors that allow the movement of species and the preservation of biodiversity, promoting sustainable management of natural resources.

The Tenka - La Esperanza Biocorridor is composed of two conservation areas: La Esperanza Forest and Tenka Forest, remnants of native forest in a landscape highly fragmented by extensive livestock farming and agriculture in the area.
This program began with the consolidation of the La Esperanza Forest project in 2020, which protects a remnant of 15 hectares of primary and secondary forests, where 3 new tree species have been discovered and its great biodiversity continues to be studied. In areas surrounding the forest, ecological restoration plots have been established to recover native habitat and expand the conservation area.
In 2025, thanks to the partnership with Green Sanctuaries, Tenka, with 83 hectares of forest, joins La Esperanza Forest, thus forming a biocorridor dedicated to the conservation and restoration of this vital habitat for thousands of species and the provision of ecosystem services in the area.

Monitoring the restoration process to generate learning, improve, and replicate these practices.
Increasing connectivity between forest patches to contribute to the resilience of the entire landscape.
Sustainable DEVELOPMENT
We strengthen the community's capacities to encourage and develop skills in agroforestry, agroecology, ecological restoration, bio-entrepreneurship, and ecotourism.
We work with the initiative of the community members to create actions in their own spaces that contribute to landscape management.
We encourage sustainable practices for the preservation of the ecosystem services provided by nature.
How is this program developed?
The Tenka - La Esperanza Biocorridor program is developed thanks to the contribution of international funds, donations, and support from individuals and companies, both national and international, as well as collaborating organizations, universities, and volunteers who are committed to the creation of resilient landscapes.
This program continues to grow thanks to the interest and generosity of companies and institutions from various sectors of society. One-time donations or the development of institutional projects contribute to one or more initiatives within this program that preserves a biodiversity treasure of Ecuador.
